Playoff Beard Removal with One Pass!

[@aleksandrk8537]

It's unbelievable. I've just thought "Why we don't have a one pass shave by Geo", searched for it and found this one. An hour later I look at the notifications and BOOM I see the same video. That's a very pleasant surprise. Keep it up!

[@EasyTarget82]

Im a Flyers fan, decided to skip the playoff beard/facial hair this year since their last three appearances in '14,'16', and '18 all resulted in first round exits. Last time I was cleanshaven for the playoffs was 2012 when they last won a series so it's working out good so far. Also watching shaving videos lure me into shaving and I enjoy it since switching to DE. P.S props for calling it a sweater as it should be

[@geofatboy]

Sounds like some damn good SuperFan logic to me! Maybe it will help them close it out tonight. Thanks for the props on the sweater👍

[@goose4342]

I just ordered a Feather Artist Club with the pro-guard razors, since I've never used a straight razor before I wanted to use something that would be more forgiving, can't wait to try it out and eventually move up to the professional blades.

[@johnhale5527]

I have used the Feather Artist Club with the pro guard blades and the "professional" blades as well. Honestly, the pro-guard ARE more forgiving (fewer nicks, cuts, and abrasions) and the shave is just as close as with the others. Probably closer since I feel more confidence in not getting hurt with the pro-guard. There's my 2 cents. Spend them wisely! :-)

You did good Steven-Enjoy!

Nice shave GEO! I have this razor as well as the folding version...as well as the DX model. I have RAD...LOL....But seriously, they're all great razors. I prefer using them over my straight razors, the blades are way sharper than my straights so I need to be very careful when shaving. But after a while, I really got better using it. CHEERS!!!

[@johnbeer4963]

I've found that (at least with my safety type handles, which peak in an ATT SE1) chasing a 1 pass BBS shave from my usual 5 day growth just results in nicks. I wonder if that would be different with that shavette. Been tempted to get one. There's nothing, NOTHING like a Feather PS-20 blade. It's interesting to me that you seem to use as many strokes in one pass as i use in two. I've only been shaving with proper instruments for 4 or 5 years so i'm probably still demonstrating cartridge user habits

[@geofatboy]

Agreed John, it is a great blade. Thanks for sharing and watching.

Thanks Eric, Big game coming tonight for you! Ferro-Isn't that the card game they played in Tombstone? I looked it up and it's actually spelled F-A-R-O. Good luck tonight.

[@15fosfo]

Hi Geo, why do you apply the shaving cream directly on top of the pre-shave cream? I thought it was better to let the skin absorb the pre-shave cream first. Greetings from Italy.

[@geofatboy]

As with many things shaving related-YMMV. Some of it soaked in and some doesn't. The more water you use, the more it dissolves and soaks into the beard. Rinsing it out before applying shaving cream kind of defeats the purpose.

[@eltetters7194]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again because it’s true. Geo could straight shave with with an old Pepsi can and engine grease and not only make it look easy, he would make it look cooler than the other side of the pillow. Geo! THE Dude!

[@brenthooton3412]

Baby smooth after one pass with the Pepsi can. But that engine grease gives you plenty of lubrication for another pass if you want to take it to the next level.

[@johnhale5527]

It helps that he has rubber skin.... :-)

[@geofatboy]

Awwwww! You got me blushing now ❤️ Thanks!

[@rexwriter]

Your site is impressive in your knowledge, skill and friendliness. I first used a de when I started shaving in 1964,65. I then went to injector, then to cartridge then electric and back to cartridge. I recently started using a de again. I am a pretty low maintenance guy, and three passes seemed like too much for me to enjoy. I have a fairly heavy beard and shave every day. So I wanted to try a one pass. I bought two razors, a Merkur Progress and Viking Meiji, what do I know. Anyway I prefer the progress, set on 3.5 or 4. I do one pass, shaving as I would with a cartridge, with, across and against the grain, and get a bbs, or what at least feels very smooth, shave. It feels a little rough but still looks good about 9 or 10 hours later. I am going to try some other razors, just haven’t decided which yet. Thanks for your site.

[@3l3odor]

Try a Muhle R41

[@rexwriter]

@@3l3odor I was thinking of that one.

[@3l3odor]

@@rexwriter You won't be disappointed, just load the razor with a good blade. I also have a heavy beard, my only regret is that nobody taught me the DE shaving :)) and spent a lot of money to cartridge and electric razor

Hey Geo! Tough beat. Hawks couldn't seal the deal. Always next year. Ps. Could you make a video (If you haven't already) about the main difference between DE safety bar razors VS Straight bar shaving in terms of closeness of shave. I have a super sensitive coarse beard and was interested in knowing if I should switch from DE safety razors to straight bars for that factor. Thanks! Keep up the great vids!

Hi Gio, Thanks for the video. I feel odd asking but do you have to stretch the skin with a straight razor? Also, do you have a video for what you need to shave with a straight razor? I know you need a razor, but not sure about the stromp and sharpening stone. Thanks in advance.

[@MC90pastel]

Absolutely. Straight razors don’t pivot like a cartridge, so you have to creat flat planes by stretching your skin, otherwise you will cut yourself and/or skip spots

[@geofatboy]

If the blade is very sharp, you can get by without stretching the skin. I've done it in some other videos. Check them out: kzbin.info

I love pre-shaves for their scent, not their functionality, as that is very limited, and they're a total waste of money... Get a few drops of Olive Oil, Coconut Oil etc, and you get even better results at 100th of the price of a pre-shave :P I also dislike a lot of "Experts", talking about the importance of taking your time, to put on shaving lather... What works, is the time it sits, not about how well you "Rub it in" :P Basically the more water in it, the better, and if you wanna see wet lather, check out all Turkish Barbers on ASMR videos, now that is a fast and perfect lather :P P.S Geo, you CAN'T close pores, it's a horrible myth that has been talked about for 30+ years now, they are not a muscle, you can make them look smaller by keeping them clear, but there is no such thing as hot water / steam to open them, and cold to close them, it is impossible :P What makes them seem like they open up, and make skin easier to deal with, is water, doesn't matter about the temperature, it is just the body reacting to water :)
